New roof going on?
We take the solar off and put it back.

Tell us four things and we will give you a starting price straight away. Licensed and insured in Connecticut, and we have been doing this since long before most of these arrays went up.

Who are you?

It is on your original contract, and in your monitoring app. A count from the driveway is fine.

Older systems sometimes need parts that are harder to get. A rough answer is genuinely fine.

This is the single most useful thing you can send. One picture of the panels and the rails tells us what hardware we need, which is most of what the review is working out.

No obligation, and we will not pass your details to anybody.

How it works

Two visits, and your panels stay put

This is the part people ring up about. We come twice, around your roofer, and the array never leaves your property.

1

We take the array off

Before the roofers start. We disconnect the system, take down the modules and racking, and set them somewhere out of the way at your property.

2

Your roofer does the roof

We are not waiting on site and we are not holding them up. The panels stay at your property in the meantime; we do not take them away.

3

We put it back

New flashings on the new roof, everything reconnected and tested, and we confirm the system is producing before we leave.

One thing to sort out before the day: somewhere at the property the modules and racking can sit while the roof is done. A garage, a side yard, anywhere out of the way. Tell us where on the form and we will plan for it.

The price

Why the price moves

The starting price is our standard per-panel rate. Every roof then gets looked at on its own, because these four things genuinely change the work.

How old the system is. Older racking sometimes needs parts that are no longer made, so we have to source them.
How high the roof is. Every trip up and down a ladder is time, and a third story is a different job from a ranch.
How many separate arrays. Panels split across three roof faces take longer than the same count in one block.
How far you are from us. We are in East Hartford. Travel is real time for a crew.

We would rather tell you that up front than send you a number and change it later.

For the trade

Roofers: talk to us properly

If you hit solar on a roof more than once a year, you should not be chasing a different electrician each time. Tell us who you are on the form and we will set you up so your crews know exactly who to call and what it costs.
